My local library is entirely volunteer-run. The town tried to close it years ago, but everyone pulled together to reopen it purely on donations and generously-given volunteer services. Local businesses got in on it, too, and we now have a small but wonderful library just five minutes away.

In another life, I’ve been a librarian! Best job? working in a public library, reading stories to people, helping every aged person find a book they will love, winkling out the strangest pieces of information, the look on someone’s face when they’ve been introduced to a database…now I’m a user- magazines, classes, audiobooks…al the things I can use without having to buy…The world is a better place for the presence of the library.
